| Footballguys view: The Titans have designs of making a postseason run...and getting Orakpo healthy would be a boost for their surging defense. Orakpo wants to return as soon as possible but also wants to make sure he's ready to play again. He did not practice last week. |

Titans | Brian Orakpo could miss a week Sun Jul 29, 01:40 PM
Tennessee Titans LB Brian Orakpo (shoulder) will likely return to practice 'in a week or so,' according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Second-round pick Harold Landry is taking snaps in Orakpo's place and he might end up being just as effective, if not more effective. The Titans have some of the best edge rushing depth in the league, so they can be patient with Orakpo's injury. |

| Footballguys view: Matthews appears to have a better chance of playing than he did last week, but like last week, his status will be determined by how he does in pregame warmups. The matchup is good against the Texans if he can go, with some risk of re-injury or limited effectiveness. |

| Footballguys view: Matthews isn't off to a good start this week after being ruled out for Week 12 with a hamstring injury. The Titans have a good matchup against the Texans, but Corey Davis and Eric Decker have been underperforming, so if Matthews is out again, Delanie Walker may be the only playable piece of the Titans passing game. |

Titans | Tennessee fortifies defense with two Fri Mar 13, 08:35 AM
Free-agent LB Brian Orakpo (Redskins) and DE Derrick Morgan (Titans) were signed by the Tennessee Titans to undisclosed deals Friday, March 13.
| Footballguys view: Two strong additions to the defense here. Orakpo needed a fresh start after an injury-riddled career in Washington. He had torn pectoral muscles for two of the past three seasons, but when healthy Orakpo can get about 10 sacks per year. Morgan began his career as a DE in the Titans 4-3 defense, but last year he looked good at outside linebacker as the team switched to a 3-4. |

Redskins | Open to re-signing Brian Orakpo Sun Mar 8, 09:37 AM
Washington Redskins impending free-agent LB Brian Orakpo is interested in re-signing with the team, and the Redskins are interested in him returning, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Orakpo is a talented pass-rusher, but staying healthy is a big concern after three pectoral injuries have kept him from playing up to his potential. He missed nine games last year, registering only a half a sack. However, in 2013 Orakpo had a 10-sack season. The 28-year-old linebacker will hit the open market for the first time in his six-year career. |
